The checkout pill in the module toolbar displays the current branch or version name. Clicking the pill opens a menu where Creators can switch to any branch or version and access versioning actions.

Checkout Pill Menu
Clicking the checkout pill opens a menu listing all branches for the application, with published versions and every versioning action behind two fly-out rows beneath them.
Branches display flat, in alphabetical order.
Published versions sit behind the
Versions row. Hover the row to open a panel listing them, newest first. Each version shows its version string followed by the version name given at publish, when it has one.
Search filters branches and versions together, matching a version by either its version string or its version name. While a search is active, matching versions display inline in the list alongside matching branches, so one search reaches both kinds.
Selecting a branch or version switches the working context immediately.
Versioned Actions
Hovering the Versioned Actions row at the bottom of the menu opens a panel with every action available for the current application:
Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Opens the Create Branch dialog, pre-seeded with the branch or version currently checked out. Requires update permission. See Creating Branches. |
| Opens the Publish dialog for the current branch. Requires update permission. See Publishing Branches. |
| Opens the merge workflow with neither side chosen. See Merging Branches. |
| Opens the Manage Versions dialog. |
| Opens the Add Dependency dialog directly. Requires update permission. See Application Dependencies. |
| Opens the Manage Dependencies dialog. See Application Dependencies. |
Publish... and Add Dependencies only display when a branch is checked out. A published version cannot be published again, and its dependencies are fixed at the versions it pinned, so neither action applies. Switch to a branch to see them. Manage Dependencies always displays — on a version it opens read-only, so the pinned dependencies stay viewable.
Manage Versions Dialog
The Manage Versions dialog is the central place for managing branches and published versions. Open it by selecting Manage Versions in the menu.
The dialog displays a tree of published versions with their branches nested beneath. Each branch's commit history displays inline under the branch row. One search field narrows the entire tree, matching a version by either its version string or its version name; matching entries expand automatically. Versions sort by semantic version number, with v1.10.0 sorting above v1.9.0.
Version Row Actions
Each published version row displays the version string, the version name given at publish when it has one, a Default badge if it is the current default version, and a Current badge if it is the active working context. The following actions are available from its (ellipsis):
Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Switches the working context to this version. Disabled on the version currently in context. |
| Opens the Create Branch dialog pre-seeded with this version as the source. Requires create permission. See Creating Branches. |
| Opens the merge workflow with this version as the source. See Merging Branches. |
| Sets this version as the default. Only available on versions that are not already the default. Requires update permission. See Default Version. |
Branch Row Actions
Each branch row displays the branch name and a Current badge if it is the active working branch. The following actions are available from its (ellipsis):
Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Switches the working context to this branch. Not available on the current branch. |
| Opens the Create Branch dialog pre-seeded with this branch as the source. Requires create permission. See Creating Branches. |
| Opens the merge workflow with this branch as the source. See Merging Branches. |
| Publishes this branch as a new version. Only available on unpublished branches. Requires create permission. See Publishing Branches. |
| Expands the commit history inline beneath the branch row. Selecting it again collapses the history. See Branch History. |
| Permanently deletes the branch. Requires delete permission. See Deleting Branches. |
